The Little Man is a humorous play by John Galsworthy, consisting of three short scenes. The play explores the themes of morality and justice in a satirical and farcical manner. The central character, the Little Man, is a meek and mild-mannered individual who is constantly being pushed around by those around him. In the first scene, he is bullied by a group of children, in the second scene, he is taken advantage of by a group of businessmen, and in the third scene, he is put on trial for a crime he did not commit. Throughout the play, the Little Man tries to maintain his integrity and stand up for what is right, but he is constantly thwarted by the corrupt and powerful people around him. The Little Man is a witty and entertaining play that offers a biting critique of society's injustices and the struggle of the individual to maintain their moral compass in a world that often seems stacked against them.AMERICAN.

You have there a man in whom Gawd [He points upward] takes quite an amount of stock. You have no call to arrest him. [He makes the gesture of arrest] No, Sir. Providence has acted pretty mean, loading off that baby on him. [He makes the motion of dandling] The little man has a heart of gold. [He points to his heart, and takes out a gold coin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
